ExpertiseTechnology, Products andServices for Secure andReliable Data Integration
OPC TechnologyOPC is the world’s leading interoperability standard for secureand reliable data exchange in industrial automation and otherapplications. It ensures the seamless flow of information betweendevices and software applications of different manufacturers.The current OPC UA (Unified Architecture) standard is platformindependent, leveraging advanced security and data modelingtechnologies to deliver future-proof, scalable and extensiblesolutions. Companion Specifications further simplify the use of OPCUA for the end user.
OPC UA and OPC Classic Servers, OPC MiddlewareSecure and Reliable All-in-One Solution for OPC Communication and IoT Cloud ConnectivitydataFEED OPC Suite is a software solution for OPC UA and OPC Classic communication and for cloud connectivity in a singleproduct. The integrated OPC UA Server including store-and-forward provides secure and reliable access to PLCs of all leadingmanufacturers, including Siemens SIMATIC S7, Rockwell ControlLogix, B&R, Mitsubishi, and Modbus controls as supplied by Wagoand others.By acting as a gateway between the two OPC standards, dataFEED OPC Suite also enables the integration of existing OPC Classiccomponents and applications with modern Industrie 4.0 OPC UA solutions. Using the MQTT and REST protocols, production datacan be transferred to IoT Cloud or Big Data applications on Microsoft Azure, Amazon AWS, Google Cloud, Bosch PPM and SiemensMind-Sphere platforms. dataFEED OPC Suite also allows production data to be saved out to a file or stored in an SQL database,or in MongoDB or CouchDB. Thanks to the extensive data preprocessing functionality, data can be adjusted easily and flexibly.Analytics Big DataPredictiveMaintenance TrendingSiemens MindSphere, Microsoft Azure, Amazon AWS, .OPC UA / OPC Classic Client ApplicationsERPMESHistoriandataFEED OPC SuiteCloudConnectorTrendingOPC UA / OPC Classic ServerINATNoSQLDatabaseMongo DB,Couch DBWIN CCSensorSiemensSQLDatabaseFileMySQL, Oracle,Microsoft-SQLTXT, HTML,XMLSchneider Electric,WAGO, PhoenixProcessingDataLoggingTunnelOPC ClientAllen BradleyLogix 5583ESiemens S71500B&RX20CP1483ExchangeOPC TunnelDeviceConnectorSimple and Independent Access to Controllersand IoT DevicesMitsubishiGateways andFirewallsOPC ServerIoTDeviceGateway to Big Data and IoT Clouds Solutions Integration of automation devices via MQTT Publisher/ No changes to control program required Integration of non-OPC UA-capable components,such as Siemens S7 controllers, into OPC UA solutions Cost savings by using existing OPC Classic components Gateway functionality for connecting controllers and components with integrated OPC UA Server toOPC Classic applicationsDirect connection of IoT devices (MQTT Publisher)without using an MQTT BrokerSubscriber, MindConnect and REST Client functionalityin IoT cloud applications, e.g. Siemens MindSphere,Amazon AWS or Microsoft AzureEasy integration of production data into NoSQL BigData storage solutions such as MongoDBState-of-the-art security provided by SSL/TLS support,including certificatesProtection against data loss through Store & Forwardfor OPC, MQTT and RESTEasy ConfigurationExtensive and Flexible Data Processing Modern, intuitive graphical user interface for fast Value conversions, e.g. from Celsius to Fahrenheit Comprehensive logical operations such as extraction DataPreprocessingOPCClassicUA of bits from an integerData exchange between different automation worlds(e.g. between Siemens and Rockwell controls)without changing the control program 3OPC communication configurationUse of smart hands-on defaults, setup wizards anddrag-and-drop supportTime savings through effective and efficient configurationof distributed automation systems comprising a largenumber of OPC UA and OPC Classic Servers
